CultureNOW dedicates itself to the promotion of diversity in New York through arts education and cultural tourism. The purpose of the organization is to promote awareness of New York City's culturally vast environment by providing the most current information on cultural and civic organizations and artistic and historic resources. It does this in the form of maps, guides and websites tailored to the specific context of a community. CultureNOW began in 2002 from work done by New York/New Visions, the pro bono coalition of design professionals formed in response to the tragic events of September 11th. Podcasts in .mp3 format are avaliable for free from both our website (culturenow.org) and the iTunes store.
